About BELLEVUE ARTS MUSEUM VISION Bellevue Arts Museum (BAM) is a cultural commons where artists and audiences directly participate in the exchange of ideas on all aspects of material and visual culture. Always different, always new, always stimulating and exciting. Our focus is: Visual & material culture Contemplation Discussion & Debate Enjoyment & Engagement Timely & Relevant Socio-cultural Topics Visual literacy MISSION Bellevue Arts Museum (BAM) is a forum for the contemplation and discussion of visual and material culture, allowing audiences to explore their individual and collective experiences of the world through art, craft and design. HISTORY Central to the City of Bellevue, Bellevue Arts Museum has grown to become the Pacific Northwest s center for the experience of visual and material culture. With a rich history of engaging local and regional communities, BAM is a home to an ever-changing roster of wide-ranging exhibitions and engaging programs that lead audiences to contemplate, discuss and debate the role of art, artists, and culture within society. In 1947, a group of volunteers founded the Pacific Northwest Arts and Crafts Association, Bellevue Arts Museum s parent organization. They had two goals in mind: to promote the artists of the region, and to establish a cultural and educational center serving Bellevue and the greater Eastside of Seattle. The Museum was established as a non-profit in 1975. Initially housed in a schoolhouse, Bellevue Arts Museum underwent a series of transformations, before being sited in the third floor of the new Bellevue Square shopping center from 1991. In 2001 The Museum at last opened the doors of its first purpose-built home: a stunning, post-modern building colored deep red, buried in the heart of vibrant downtown Bellevue. Designed by renowned architect and Washingtonian, Steven Holl, the building quickly became an icon and symbol of Bellevue s booming downtown. Today, BAM is one of few museums in the nation with the wide and comprehensive focus on art, craft, and design, filling a unique and vital niche among the presenting institutions of the Pacific Northwest.
